Byrd seeks 450000 for West Virginia wood market center
Senator Byrd described Senate approval of a 450000 appropriation for a wood products market development center and a demonstration forest in Southern West Virginia. The Forest Service chose the Bluefield Princeton area in Mercer County, with the Mercer County Court offering about 50 acres at no cost for headquarters, a utilization center, and a log yard. Over 5,000 acres near Camp Creek Forest could be leased as a demonstration forest, and Byrd noted the plan aims to boost local timber use and keep value in-state. He stressed the center would not duplicate Fernow experiments and would be a unique facility for regional development.
